16Leases vs LeaseLedger

16Leases calculates IFRS 16 lease liabilities and right-of-use asset costs from lease information. After users enter lease details and adjustments, the software automatically computes results and provides payment schedules. Supported adjustments include lease incentives, purchase options, termination penalties, residual value guarantees, initial direct costs, and dismantling or restoration costs. Premium and Enterprise users can manually customize schedules. Users can export leases to Excel, share a lease by email with another 16Leases account, and manage leases across multiple companies. The software supports journal entries and runs on iOS, Linux, macOS, self-hosted environments, the web, and Windows. Its maker describes it for chartered and certified accountants, finance managers, accountants, businesses, and accounting firms serving clients. The Free plan is free for one user, and the 30-day trial does not allow lease document attachments. Premium is for one user; Enterprise supports unlimited users. Prices for both are available on request. The maker says sign-in uses an emailed token as a second factor and that user data is backed up on Microsoft Azure.

LeaseLedger provides lease accounting schedules, journals, reports, and disclosures under AASB 16, IFRS 16, and ASC 842. Its register handles new leases, migrations, modifications, and reassessments, with schedule effects tied to lease events. The platform supports scheduled payment reconciliation and records off-schedule settlements. Reports include financial-system reconciliations, cash maturity analysis, portfolio roll-ups, and disclosure workpaper previews. Migration workbooks provide pre-import validation, row-level error handling, and selectable opening balance bases. Optional AI can draft lease details from text or PDFs, but a person must review suggestions before saving or relying on them. The free plan costs nothing and allows up to 3 leases in one client workspace, with the owner and one teammate, plus 5 AI-assisted drafts. Users can export lease records, schedules, journals, and workbooks and retain ownership of their data, documents, and outputs. Core records and supporting documents are hosted in AWS Sydney; data is encrypted in transit and at rest. AI requests may be processed outside Australia, and the external provider may retain input and output for abuse monitoring for up to 30 days.
